2014 International Students Conference on Environment and Sustainability - Tongji University, Shanghai, China

It is our pleasure to invite talented full-time university students you know to attend the “2014 International Students Conference on Environment and Sustainability,” which will be held at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, from June 5 to June 10, 2014.
Background and Objective of the Conference: environment and sustainability is always a hotspot issue that attracts a lot of attention from the international society. At the Rio+20 Conference, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), together with other UN agencies and many higher education institutes around the world, launched “Higher Education Sustainability Initiative” Declaration, aiming to integrate environment and sustainability into higher education with the “Global Universities Partnership on Environment and Sustainability (GUPES)” as a strategic platform. University students, as future leaders and decision-makers of our society, should be engaged in different areas of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Supported by the UNEP and Tongji University, the “International Students Conference on Environment and Sustainability (ISCES)” had been successfully held in the last three years. Around 950 students from more than 50 countries took part in the conference, exchanged understanding and ideas on topics relevant to environment and sustainable development and issued “Global Youth Tongji Declaration.” These conferences made great contributions to the spread of concepts and practices of environment and sustainability among university students.
Host and organizer: the conference is co-hosted by Tongji University and UNEP, and is organized by UNEP-Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development (IESD).

Participants: Full time university students (including undergraduate and post-graduate students).

We will announce the selected participants by May 15 and issue invitation letters afterwards.
